Photographic Collage of the Peshtigo Fire

While doing the research for this project, I collected a variety of photographs and other media to depict the people, places, and events of the Peshtigo Fire. By sharing my collection here, I hope to help others understand the severity of the catastrophe and the importance of sharing the story.
